The CODE

My family research comes to be very confusing, especially when I get really into it, sometimes I cross over to a different side of the family without realizing it. For this reason I have devised a sort of CODE* to (attempt to) keep my head straight when trying to keep track of who's who...

*The CODE:
M = Maternal (mother) (moeder)
P = Paternal (father) (vader)

*Examples of use:
MMPM = my mother's, mother's, father's, mother (aka Great-Great-Grandmother)
MPPPPM = my mother's, father's, father's, father's, father's mother (aka Great-Gr-Gr-Grandmother)
Simple- Yes? --Hope it helps...

Oh, and the previous post about my grandfather's paintings from Ede (the grandfather who was born in Ede)... He is my "MP".
